Predestination by Letting Them Go?

Romans 5 Destroys Calvinism

 

If calvinism is true biblically how does it reconcile its belief that God predestines some to hell before they were born, without regard for a free-will, with Rom. 5.12 and 5.18?

“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Therefore as by the offence of one [judgment came] upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [the free gift came] upon all men unto justification of life.” (Rom 5.12,18) It is very clear: all men unto condemnation; yet, all men offered life.

These three groups of “all men” are the same without reason to suggest otherwise. Surely, the Bible would not be so confusing. Therefore, all have received the righteousness of one, though not all accept God’s Son. “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” (Is.  53.6) Every human being that ever lived has gone astray.

If God just lets some go, He still has not given them the free-choice. They could not possibly have escaped hell. There is no gospel for them to believe.

If there are two different groups of “all men,” then that would mean some of Christ’s blood was shed in vain. Calvinists respond by saying if He died for all, then the Bible is not true, because some, obviously, are not saved. I would agree, Calvinists do not believe the Bible is true, for just because Jesus died for the sins of all, there is still free-will in which we must by our own volition come to the cross in being drawn by God. The blood provides access to salvation, not that everyone will accept God’s merciful grace.

“Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Tim. 2.4) McArthur in his study bible says God has two wills – one by desire to save all and another to decree. Yet, I ask, how can God have two wills? God is not two beings with two wills. He is One Being with His eternal will. He is not a god who stops short of bringing people to salvation with a second will. Hence, His one will is to save all, but though not all receive Him, He saves only those He elects by His infinite foreknowledge of their free-choice. Calvinists malign Scripture to worship another.
